Kill la Kill Gaiden Part 3

Time: 12:00 A.M.

As the midnight hour struck and the grandfather clock's bell rang throughout the halls of the manor, all parties dwelling within were fast asleep after the illustrious blanket. Rest and recuperation should have been a top priority for the heroes as the time of battle drew nearer; however, there was one in particular that could not bear the thought of sleep as she crept down the hallway to knock on a certain door.

"Come in," spoke the calm, soothing voice of the Crimson Envoy who was still awake sitting at a desk inside of his designated living space reading a book that caught his eye.

The door opened revealing the figure of a girl passing through nervously with her arms behind her back. She was wearing the dark navy blue and red outfit of her inactive Kamui.

"Ryuko-chan? I wasn't expecting you to still be awake, what's going on?" Akaro inquired as the girl shut the door behind her.

The tomboy took notice of the regal nature of the room. Several murals of ancient, sengoku period estates were hung on the walls next to each other while a tall bookshelf decorated the empty wall space next to a four-paned window. The red velvet drapes over the glass surface were parted slightly as the light of the moon passed inside. Looking over towards where the male was sitting, she could not help but notice that he was wearing a white shirt that was completely unbuttoned thus exposing his muscular physique with black pants to match.

"I...just wanted to talk to you...if you don't mind," she blushed whilst gently scratching the surface of her cheek nervously.

"Not at all, come and sit," he invited with a wave of his hand.

Ryuko gradually closed the distance between them, but felt her heart skip a beat when she noticed that the only available option for seating was at the foot of his bed. Her mind was already drifting to certain subjects that she wanted to label as taboo. Pushing that aside to not jump to conclusions, she carefully sat down on the bed in front of him staring at the floor for a moment. As a few seconds of silence passed, the first to speak was none other than the red-eyed figure himself.

"So what's on your mind? Are you feeling okay after using that Kamui?" he asked sincerely whilst shifting his weight in the chair to lean towards her.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine. I can't thank you enough actually. Even though he's not really here, wearing this uniform makes me feel like Senketsu never really left. Honestly, it's calming considering how my life has been lately."

"I understand how you feel," Akaro said with a slight sigh as he got up from the chair and sat down beside her on the bed.

"You and I aren't all that different. I was forced into a crazy situation that took me way out of my element to search for answers. Y'see...I'm the byproduct of a crazy lab experiment that went horribly right. Take a human child and forcefully infuse him with the ability to merge with supernatural weaponry to create a power that can threaten the world of political influence and boom...here I am."

"Wow...I'm...sorry to hear that. I can't even imagine what you go through recalling that," Ryuko sympathized.

"I don't let my past define who I am today. I've lived a very long life. I've fought in many battles and countless wars, lost many comrades and even lost sight of who I was meant to be. However, through it all, I have gained so many friends and family who brought me out of the dark. They pushed me forward and kept me going, even in my moments when I thought I would break. I owe them that much, and I don't plan on letting any of them down."

"I wish I could be strong like you…" the girl accidentally confessed before turning away in embarrassment.

"Hey…" Akaro reached over and turned her face towards him gently with her chin, "You're stronger than you give yourself credit for. You just have to keep believing in yourself and don't lose your way."

"Yeah…" Ryuko spoke in a slight whimper as she felt her mind sleep away from reason and give into something else.

The pair stared into each other's eyes for a lingering moment. Then they drew closer and closer until their lips overlapped one another's. Ryuko felt some part of her surrender to the sensation as she placed one hand on her chest while putting all of her effort into that passionate kiss. The tomboyish behavior failed before the might of a yearning maiden whose heart and body desired something more. Akaro was not opposed to her touch either; in fact, he felt an impulse come over him that craved her from the instant he took notice of her demeanor.

Without missing a beat, the duo stood up together and stripped away their clothing. Akaro practically tore his pants off while Ryuko was trying to get her uniform off quickly without tarnishing the fabric. Once fully naked, the duo proceeded to kiss each other passionately all over again. As they grew closer together, Ryuko's breasts pressed against Akaro's skin while the Envoy's hands caressed her curves. Eventually, the powerful male's member swelled up in response to the lustful atmosphere building in the room. Ryuko felt the man's shaft prod against her thigh then poke her just above her waist as she inadvertently reached down to stroke it. Feeling bold, the tomboy breaks the kiss and steps back by a few inches and proceeds to push Akaro on the chest forcing him to sit down on the bed once more.

As he followed her gesture, he sat with his legs spread apart as his member climbed higher and higher as blood continued to circulate down towards it. Caught by surprise by its size, Ryuko stood idle for a passing second then followed her instincts and dropped down to her knees before it. As she leaned close to it, his manly scent filled her nostrils, tickling her senses and causing her lower region to heat up with more desire.

"Can men really have something this big? Those movies Mako showed me didn't prepare me enough…" she thought to herself recalling the nights she and Mako watched certain movies together as curious girls their age secretly did.

Recalling the details of some of the common practices in those films, Ryuko wrapped her hand around the girthy pillar before her and gently motioned her hand up and down at a gradual pace. The heat emanated by Akaro's arousal was communicated by the throbbing nature of the cylindrical muscle as she held onto it. Using her other hand, she gently cupped his hefty sack and massaged them in tandem to her strokes. She proceeded to pick up the pace and increased the force in which she stroked him before giving into the temptation to use her tongue.

She traced her tongue up and down the pulsing length over and over until she felt it necessary to tickle the tip. As she teased it carefully, she gave it a soft kiss before placing the instrument in her mouth and gradually taking it in orally. The daring woman went as far as to bob her head on it like a piston in an engine until she forced herself to take more of it down. Eventually, she stuffed about half of it down her throat as saliva trickled out and lathered his hot skin. Pulling it back out, she stroked it some more whilst catching her breath before going in once again. Engorging on it further, she found herself gagging on it as her audible choking sounds filled the room. She held herself steady as long as she could then retreated quickly lest she lose consciousness. Wiping away the saliva on her lips, she looked up at Akaro who was now more aroused than ever.

He stood up quickly and reached down to sweep her off her feet before laying her back on the bed. As he leapt on top of her, his lips made contact with hers again then proceeded to kiss down her neck, over her chest until he reached her supple breasts. He caressed and squeezed them both in his hands before tracing his tongue over the nipple of the left one. He nibbled and sucked on the lump then hopped over to the second one. After that, he rubbed his face between both of them at the same time until he felt himself throbbing so much that he could not bear the anticipation anymore.

Spreading her legs, he prepared for the next phase by kissing down to her sweet, untouched womanhood which was already soaked with arousal and desire. He ran his fingers over it gently thus continuing the assault with the lavishing of his tongue. This sent chills up and down the girl's spine as she unleashed a loud moan of surprise and joy over the new sensation afflicting her mind. She gushed almost instantly as she was orally pleasured by the male. The fountain of love filled Akaro's mouth in that moment which signaled to him that she was ready to take the dive.

He leaned back as his meat throbbed in yearning. Using the juices from her slit, he lubricated his cock carefully as he prodded the tip against her hole. Her legs were gapped apart, her eyes were filled with anxiety and anticipation over what was to come next. The Envoy knew she was a virgin and that his lethal tool would likely be too much for her to handle without some form of support. He reached down and pressed a finger against her lower abdomen just above her entrance sending a small trace of his power into her body. Though she did not realize it, he numbed the pain that would normally come with deflowering and removed it to replace it with an aphrodisiac-like effect.

Akaro persisted as he pushed the head of his pillar between her lower lips. In that moment, an abnormal pop sound echoed briefly as he pushed inside. All she could feel was her insides expanding as the hot cylindrical object penetrated her. As he leaned his body over hers at just the right angle, he proceeded to work his hips in a gradual rhythm that escalated in a nice crescendo that coincided with her adjustment to his shape.

Ryuko's moans filled the room as she found herself unable to control her feelings. She gripped the sheets tightly, her breath escaping her lungs unable to control the waves of pleasure she was feeling. On impulse, the tomboy's legs wrapped around the man's waist as her insides gripped tightly onto the man's shaft. The length was molding her like clay until she fully adjusted to his shape. New to this, she convulsed and reached her climax rapidly in double succession until she found herself unable to think clearly for a second.

After that set of paces, he pulled out for a moment to give her a chance to recover. When she summoned the will to move, she incidentally turned over as the nectar dripped out of her and down her inner thighs. The sight of her on her hands and knees atop of the bed stirred Akaro to action once again as he grabbed her hips and penetrated her from behind. Her eyes widened a bit as the sensation returned, but her spots were being assaulted at a different angle which created an electrifying wave of excitement.

Akaro lost himself at that point as he sought out the need to bring himself to climax. He began to pound his cock inside her wet pussy as the entirety of his shaft was lunged inside of her. With a smack of her ass, the girl found herself face down against the bed biting the sheets while she was under so many points of stimuli in rapid succession. His sack smacked against her ass over and over as he picked up the pace. As a result, the male's well-endowed weapon pierced her to her core as the head of the meat pillar kissed her womb with every thrust. After a certain set of thrusts, the Crimson Envoy unleashed a hot, juicy load inside of her effectively filling up her chambers as if she was breeding her like cattle. The girl's eyes rolled in the back of her head as she collapsed, her eyes brimming with delight over the entire engagement.

The red-eyed hunk leaned back once again to catch his breath as beads of sweat rolled down his brow and over his body. His liquids mingled with hers and oozed out onto the bed for a brief moment as she trembled from the sheer might of passion. Ryuko's senses were consumed by lust and mind-breaking desire. Looking at her position stirred further cravings in Akaro's immense appetite when it came to sex. As he jumped off the bed, he dragged her hips towards him and positioned himself behind her once more.

This time, the man spread her cheeks and prodded the tip of his meat in the untouched, tight hole above her pussy in this position. He stroked his cock again with the wet juices glazing his pole and proceeded to insert himself inside her ass. A high-pitched moan escaped the girl's lips as her tongue hung out of her mouth. From there, he caused that hole to gape open to accommodate his girthy shape. Another series of relentless pounding followed suit that lasted for what felt like hours to the girl until he filled her ass up as well. After that, Akaro let her collapse on the bed to rest while he laid back on the soft, velvet surface with a sense of accomplishment.

A couple minutes then passed. Ryuko was sucking on the man's cock once again as he laid back smoking on a Treasurer Luxury Black cigarette. After shining him up from the cleaning, she leapt on top and mounted the man completely reliant upon instinct as the look of carnal delight occupied her expression. From there, she bounced herself on the pillar like a piston as she rode him like a good cowgirl would. The echoes of the bed thumping against the ground mixed with her moans was the result as their sex continued into the night.

AT THE SAME TIME…

Around the time Ryuko first entered Akaro's room, her sister made her way towards a certain room as well. She knocked on the door for a moment, but there was no response. Unsure that the person inside was asleep, she pressed her ear against the threshold and was surprised at what echoed back: the sounds of a guitar and singing.

"Farewell, I miss you...I'm sick of these goodbyes; 'cause it tore us apart, right from the start. I miss you…" the melody rang out.

Satsuki knew it would be rude, yet her curiosity got the better of her as she turned the knob to the door and softly opened the entrance. Inside, the woman beheld the figure of the youth sitting by the window looking out at the moon as he held an angelic guitar in his hands. Surrounded by murals of a sakura tree forest, it was like the youth was giving a performance in nature. As her eyes made out the silhouette of the male clearly, she noticed that he was completely bare-chested wearing only a pair of pants for his attire. The door eventually closed back behind her which alarmed the Stormbringer.

"Satsuki-san? S..sorry, I didn't realize you were standing there," he mused as he went to put the guitar down.

"No wait...I apologize. I knocked, but I suppose you did not hear me. Forgive the intrusion. I did not want to disturb you while you were singing," she explained.

"Oh...you...heard me?" he blushed a bit as he went to sit the instrument down.

"I was...just trying to help Nirvana out while she was sleeping to aid her recovery. Apparently the resonance from when I play assists in that effort. Really...I was just curious if my singing was a fluke from before," he confessed.

"I see...so that's the kind of relationship you and that little blonde girl have? She's an avatar of this instrument. And...you have sung before?"

"Yes...and yes, it was during the battle on the Symphogear Earth. I never thought I'd be the type for that sort of thing," he chuckled as he stood up and looked outside once more.

Satsuki continued to advance in the room. As she admired the boy's physical framework, she saw the special pattern along his back that appeared. A sword with angel wings surrounded by six points with a unique adornment in the middle was what she saw; she wanted to reach out and touch it but abstained. It was then that she invited herself to sit at the small table in the room.

"So...what brings you to my room at this hour?" Raizo pondered as he turned towards her once again.

"I wanted to talk to you. I know the hour is late, but I feared I would not have the chance to in private otherwise."

"I see...well...admittedly, it has been difficult for me to sleep lately so it's not like I was going to bed anytime soon," he confessed before moving over to sit on the foot of his bed.

"I see you're still in that Kamui of yours," he observed, taking note of the girl wearing the casual, military style uniform in its resting state.

"Indeed, it just feels natural. I cannot thank you enough for its craftsmanship."

"I'm glad you like it. I'm still getting used to the process in more practical forms," the Stormbringer smiled wryly.

"That song you were singing earlier, the words...did you suffer a loss recently?" Satsuki inquired in a gentle tone unsure of whether it was a sensitive subject.

"That's...a tough question to answer. I have people that I cherish back in my world...and...someone I would do anything for at any given moment. Then recently I was shown a future...a future where I did horrific things becoming something far more grotesque than I'd like to admit. And...it's just been plaguing my mind. I feel like I'm going to lose everything I have ever gained in life and it terrifies me; especially because I never truly placed a value on anything or anyone around me in my past. Someone like me...given so much after all I've done; I'm terrified of losing all of it," he trembled for a brief instant as the visage of the Stormfallen flashed through his mind.

"You have to let go of everything you fear to lose," Satsuki spoke sincerely while reaching out and placing a hand on his leg.

"I'm not telling you to forget about those you love, or forsaking them altogether. But the fear of loss will chain you down and cause you to act without direction. That will be your ultimate undoing. Fear is a very powerful tool. It can be a motivator, or it can be a killer. Nevertheless, you have to let go of it; otherwise the outcome will be worse than you imagined. Resolve is stronger than any blade once steeled enough."

"Heh...you sound like Reina-san...and Aka-sensei back home. But you're right...it's just tough finding a place to start sometimes, and it's easy to get caught up in thinking about it."

"Well for starters, just breathe. Then...focus on what you can do right now. Worrying about what may happen and the ifs and buts of the outcome will only create strife within yourself; and that's something we cannot have before the battle against the Abyss Order."

"Satsuki-san, you carry great wisdom within you. Thank you. We share something in common actually; it donned on me as I managed to see glimpses of your life. We both came from families carrying significant weight in our histories. Each representing something in relation to strength. It's what gave us foundation, even though our worlds were shattered due to unfortunate events. You with the tyranny of your mother; and...me with the half-hearted ambitions of a non-biological father, and greedy mother."

"Non-biological?" the long-haired beauty raised an eyebrow.

"Yes...you see, I carry the last names of two bloodlines: The Arashi side belongs to my mother who was the head of the Order of the Blood Wolves - an order of assassins that was wiped out many years ago. The Mercer side belongs to my father, who is the King of Elysium...and a legendary figure referred to as the 'God Hunter'. In a figurative sense, half of me came from Heaven, the other came from Hell and I was raised in the latter," Raizo sighed whilst leaning back and looking up at the ceiling above.

"How complex, but your origins do not define who you are. You do with the decisions you make and the values you uphold," she enforced as she stood up before him.

"Yeah, I try to live my life like it's a story to tell."

"Good, live it freely," she yielded a soft smile.

Raizo cast his gaze up to her as she stood over him. Their eyes locked for a lengthy moment which incidentally caused the youth to blush upon realization.

"H-Hey so...isn't it really late? You should get some rest, right?"

"I'm not tired actually. I did say that we would have a discussion later when we first began training, do you recall?" she proposed to which the male instantly recounted how close she got to him the first time and what happened as a result.

"Y-You mean…"

"Did you think I would forget?"

Raizo gulped nervously as he sat paralyzed on the bed. Satsuki was intent on what she wanted tonight as she approached and sat down on his lap promptly. She placed a hand under his chin and stared deeply into his crimson eyes.

"S-Satsuki-san...I...never expected…" he stammered over his words a bit.

"I may have my disciplined nature, but I am still a woman with desires as well. I just never deemed anyone suitable until now."

"You...sound like Arc….you know."

"Shh...don't talk. Besides, it's rude to mention another woman's name when I'm right here you know. Very well, tonight I shall educate you."

Cutting off his ability to speak, Satsuki pressed her lips firmly against Raizo's in that next moment. They layered over each other passionately as she initiated a battle with their tongues next. She proceeds to wrap herself around him, rubbing her crotch against his lower abdominal and pelvic region. The noble disciplinarian was not about to let up on her advance as her tongue overpowered his between their mouths.

She broke the kiss for a moment and leaned back to start fumbling with her uniform. Dismounting for a second, she took off the Kamui and promptly tossed it to the side. She pointed to Raizo's pants as if ordering him to lose them as soon as possible. Standing on his feet, he dropped his pants thus revealing his stark naked figure to her. She smirked and stepped forward before pushing him back down flat against the bed.

Mounting the youth, she turned around and positioned herself with her curvaceous rear and exposed womanhood lingering above his face while she was hovering over his manhood that was gradually swelling up. She reached for it and took the member into her hand to stroke it slowly and give it a gentle kiss. Behind her, she could hear him gasp in surprise from the sudden stimulus; yet she did not want him to enjoy this by himself. As a result, she lowered her hips onto his face thus planting her other set of lips over his to give him a job to do.

Stroking it harder, his member accumulated blood flow and swelled up greater in her grasp. It continued to escalate in size and girth as she licked the side of it while cupping his hefty sack with her free hand. In the meantime, she swirled her hips over his mouth to stir her own fire inside. Much to the youth's comprehension, he knew what he had to do as his tongue slipped out of his mouth and over her hot entrance thus teasing the outer portion then sliding inside.

As Raizo's cock reached its peak, Satsuki took a moment to admire the size and shape, then took it in her mouth and sucked on it like her life was on the line. At the same time, the Stormbringer grabbed the cheeks of the Kiryuin family head and pushed his tongue deeper inside her as he ate her pussy out greedily. The pair were so absorbed in their oral assaults that the waves of pleasure assailing their nervous systems aligned with one another. After a furious torrent of non-stop stimulus between them both for what amounted to at least 15 minutes, they both reached their climaxes. Satsuki released a rainfall of juices from her body in the boy's mouth, while Raizo erupted a copious amount of thick liquid in her mouth. The pair relished in each other's taste for a small instant, Satsuki went as far as to continue sucking on his cock as she used her breasts to keep it hot and throbbing for more. Once she could tell he was ready, the atmosphere changed.

The woman turned around again over top of the youth as she assumed the cowgirl position. She guided her lover's manhood into her wet entrance and swiftly consumed his meat inside her as her vagina was very receptive to her shape. In spite of it being her first time, muscles loosened to accommodate his shape almost instantly then tightened up again to ensure he would not escape her. From there, she started to work her hips in a soft rhythm and ride the Stormbringer.

Raizo reached up and grabbed her bountiful breasts, squeezing onto them and pinching her nipples. As she sped up on him, she leaned down over him as they kissed intimately again. She continued to work her hips almost to a point of bouncing on top of his cock as her thick cheeks slapped against his upper thighs in response. The audible noises served as an auditory stimulus for the youth which caused him to get even harder while inside the girl. Breaking the kiss once more, she paused for a moment and turned around thus exposing her juicy ass to him and proceeded to ride again in reverse.

The Crusader was treated to a mighty sight as the girl's voluptuous rear bounced on his hardened length creating a sight that continually aroused him. He relinquished a short groan of delay as he reached down instinctively to grab hold of her delectable ass to squeeze it once more. The speed that followed allowed the woman to clap her cheeks against him which resonated in the air causing the male to unleash yet another hefty load except this time it filled up her womb. Yet at this point, Raizo gave into his carnal desires.

Without as much as even removing himself from inside her, he nudged her over onto her hands and knees. Then he grabbed onto her hips firmly as he proceeded to drive inside of her. From the moment the crown of his instrument touched her special place, her eyes rolled back in her head as she climaxed all over him. At that point, the sound of his balls smacking against her ass from his rapid thrusts filled the room. The proud lady could not maintain her composure underneath the weight of his actions. Her mind was devoured by the pleasure of being a tool of his relief. She never felt such ecstasy; it erased any preconceived assumptions she had beforehand about intimacy. Losing all control, she kept spraying her nectar repeatedly all over his length. After countless paces of furious riding, Raizo unleashed yet another creamy load inside her.

Satsuki collapsed onto the bed, the guise of hearts painted over her pupils as a result. Driven purely by instinct and a hungering need for more, she laid face down, legs straight, and her hips slightly elevated while spreading her cheeks to show another area she wanted him to penetrate. Taking her up on the offering, the youth's cock spiked back to life once more as he pierced her tight pucker and filled her rectum with his beastly cock. It was not long until he was banging her ass with his meat and molding that hole to his shape, stretching her out with every stroke until he inevitably flooded her ass full of his seed.

The Stormbringer laid back with a satisfied expression on his face confident of the work he performed. Satsuki was completely under the spell of lust and carnality as she just cleaned up his cock with her tongue until she felt the energy to mount him once more. The pair continued their mating-like love into the night.

*****

Days passed by and then the arrival of the fated time came. Alarms aboard the Last Word sounded off as the entire force gathered above the vessel for a routine equipment check. The displays lit up with live accounts of what was going on in the world across the continent. Images of the storied sands of Egypt appeared on the main monitor as a black vortex opened up above the city of Cairo. The dark, insidious spawns of evil known as the Tacet dropped down from the skies and marched across the land like a scourge consuming everything in its wake.

Sections of the city's destruction were showcased as civilian casualties escalated in the thousands almost instantly. Then other images from different parts of the same country were shown. Destruction of irreparable magnitude was scattered across the land as the noble pyramids fell, and the last remnants of ancient pharaohs collapsed into dust and nothingness. The advanced camera feeds picked up on four distinct silhouettes.

The first was a woman in exotic lingerie censored by a black brassiere, laced gown with pale skin and violet hair. The second was an armored knight whose metalworks appeared as if a sentinel of death was summoned to bring about the end of days. The third was another female warrior in black and purple armor whose design mimicked that of a Symphogear. And the last was a woman wearing an eyepatch in a unique oriental dress that mimicked the attire of a pirate carrying a skeletal greatsword.

The female pirate held her sword with one hand and swung it twice. Instantly, all of Egypt was consumed in a swath of destruction wrought by a tsunami of dark aura that consumed all that it touched. The devastation spread with the ancient land as its epicenter to encompass all of the African continent in an instant. Millions upon millions of lives were silenced as a result. This otherworldly devastation was a clear indicator that the Abyss Order had indeed arrived to destroy another world. The knight in death's armor stepped forward at that next moment.

"It is the place of the lesser to perish under the boot of the chosen. Gaze upon the tragedies that are about to occur and know your weakness. Human life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. Your lives are measured in years and decades. You wither and die. We are eternal. The pinnacle of evolution and existence. Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable. We are the end of everything. We are the Abyss Order!" spoke the masked entity whose voice wrapped the entire globe in a blanket of fear.

Without warning at all to their fellow crewmates, Akaro and Raizo disappeared from the bridge and reappeared on the wasteland of destruction in the presence of the quartet amidst a violent streak of crimson lightning.

"Think again, Abyss Order," Akaro uttered with great ferocity.

"This great journey of yours ends here," Raizo followed suit.

The Last Word warped in behind them as reinforcements dropped down to the ground beside them. Satsuki and Ryuko were the first to appear with their fully activated Kamuis further amplified by mana thanks to their night escapades. The Symphogears dropped in after them as the ladies were draped in their suits ready to go. Lastly, Musashi, Reina and Arcueid joined the fray with Nirvana hanging back on the ship with the SONG crew, Semiramis, and Alexis to continue her recovery.

The quartet dropped onto the group as the showdown between the groups was inadvertently organized in individual matches. The masked maiden in the purple and black armor glared at the gear users with malicious intent before removing the veil to showcase her identity.

"Wait...what? How is that possible?!" Tsubasa reacted in shock.

"Another...Hibiki?" Maria's eyes widened.

"Tch...great...as if one wasn't a headache enough," Chris gritted her teeth.

"How am I supposed to think about this, desu?" Kirika ruffled her hair in confusion.

"Hibiki-san...how?" Shirabe stared in astonishment.

"This just became a lot more difficult," Miku uttered as well.

"Even if you are another me, I know where I stand in this fight!" Hibiki declared whilst balling her fist.

"Three rustbuckets from a forgotten age? How boring," Vainglory yawned as Musashi and Reina stood before her.

"Heh, that foul mouth betrays that lady-like face. Not that it matters so long as you can put up a good fight," Musashi smirked in kind.

"Your fate was sealed the moment you stepped foot before us," Reina remarked whilst gripping her blade.

"I am normally opposed to teaming up in such a way; however, this bitch's face is quite bothersome," Arcueid spoke menacingly.

"Come Knight of Akasha, show me what a warrior of your renown can do in the face of the inevitable," Vili said whilst pointing her sword at the man.

"You ready, Ryuko?" he asked his partner.

"Yeah, I'll make sure to spice up this bitch's ass-kickin'."

"Now this is the fight card I've been wanting...you, you were given redemption right? Tell me everything about it. Maybe it's something I can exploit as weak, or better it...something I can plunder for myself," the pirate grinned insidiously.

"She's...rather untamed, isn't she?" Satsuki observed.

"I don't know what her deal is...but she's not going to win one over us," Raizo spoke.

The battle to determine the fate of this universe was set as the sparks of conflict reached their breaking point.
